Tong Bin / 童宾

Tong Bin / 童宾 is the kiln-worker legend discussed in No.213 景德镇往事：千年“世界瓷都”的前世今生. The episode connects him to Wanli-era dragon-jar production, worker pressure, kiln danger, a later “风火仙师” cult, and the boundary between craft history and mythic memory.

The source treats the self-sacrifice part of the story cautiously. Tong Bin is useful to the wiki because the legend records how [[JingdezhenImperialKilnFactory|imperial kiln]] demands, low yield, dangerous firing, and worker grievance could become religious and labor memory inside the Imperial Kiln System / 御窑体系.
